Although maintained and swept by lower class Shinigami the sewers are desolate, there are no rats or other animals down here at all, just a single yet large path of clean flowing water that is constantly filted by barriers every so often down the path. There are two thin strips, one eitherside of the path of water, that are about three metres wide. These allow people to walk on down there.
The only light down here are from torches lit using Kidou energy from the cleaners who come every so often. They continue burning brightly up until the next visit. The walls are much the same as in the sewers except much cleaner, and seemed to have a shine to them.

I climbed down the ladders. I wasn't exactly accustomed to underground spaces, but I figured that since everyone was above ground and mostly likely hadn't thought about this place, that it would be the logical choice.
At least it didn't smell bad down here. It was quite fresh...what with it being a fresh water aquaduct. The water was so clear that you could see to the bottom of the duct quite easily.
I went to dust myself off, but noticed that my clothes had gathered no dust. Odd. This place was indeed clean. Then I walked over and sat down on the otherside of the torch. It was quite nice to sit down here and listen to the gentle flow of the water. Apart from that there was also no sound down here...at all.
I took out the book that i had stashed inside my uniform. And began to read it.
'Controlling your Reiatsu' I thought...how quaint. I started reading it. If i could control my Reiatsu, then i could possibly best that idiot...whom i didn't know the name of yet, at this Kidou technique. I slipped over a page. I was quite amused by this book now. It wasn't exactly telling me about Reiatsu control but how to not waste it. I didn't have any problem there. I slipped over another page and started reading. I had finally gotten to something interesting.
'As strong as your Reiatsu might be, if you cannot control it, then it will be useless. Your Reiatsu is a useful tool against your enemy, first, it allows you control over two primary elements of yourself. Namely your Kidou techniques. Kidou directly requires usage of your Reiatsu and your knowledge of the spell you are going to form. Now onto controlling it. I turned over a page.
Firstly, you have to think of Reiatsu, not as an energy source but as yourself, as if you are manipulating yourself. We will start the training sessions documented in the book now. Firstly make sure you are prepared, you should not be tired, hungry or thirsty. You should also feel calm and relaxed. The first lesson will be about Knowing your Reiatsu.
Focus on yourself, and imagine a malleble structure within your being, in every part of you, it's transulucent if not transparent, with a faintish hue of your own personal colour, the most common one is blue, but don't be alarmed if your personal colour is something else. You will know when you are seeing your true colour when you have emptied your mind of all thoughts and you are seeing a colour in front of you. I closed my eyes and began to concentrate.

I started to apply what i had read to what i was doing. I had previously thought of my Reiatsu as an Energy source, which the book told me was a bad thing...but if i was using myself, wasn't that kind of like killing myself?
Thus i started to focus on myself, if i was harming myself, then i would have to make myself stronger...to be able to withstand the pressure of using my Reiatsu, perhaps that was why I failed, because i wasn't strong enough.
I shed these thoughts and visualized them being shed into a Reiatsu I didn't focus on colour i just focused on the malleble structure within myself, running through my body, my veins my bones...every thing. With my eyes shut it was easier to visualize these things. I stayed like this for a while, knowing that while i had thoughts in my mind, I would not be able to see my true colour.
Though, this was kind of difficult, and after a length of time had passed i opened my eyes with the idea that if i closed my eyes i could imagine more, so if i opened my eyes thoughts would come to me less. Though this wasn't to be as i started focusing on things, so i tried zoning out and focusing on nothingness.
This was harder than i had anticipated but gradually my thoughts were dimishing, and i was able to solve less and less, until my thoughts became white noise, something that was there...but it was in the background, unnoticeable now.
With that i continued my meditations as i had come to call it now.

I didn't know how much time had passed, or how little i was focusing. In truth my mind void of thoughts lost track of time. I had no idea what time it was now, and nothing in this area would give me a clue. The water level remained constant and the torch continued to burn brightly.
I felt my eye lids close slightly as i had also stopped blinking. When had they stopped blinking. My eyes though weren't even dry, as dry as they should be at least. Instead they felt cool, and pleasant as if blinking was a forced habit that i had to endure.
My thoughts now had beomce less than white noise and the malleble structure within my body became more prominant. I could almost hear it burning within me. It was every part of me, and it was burning. Itching to be recognized...willing me on to recognize the existance of my own power. I saw something change in front of my eyes.
I couldn't say exactly what it was, but something was darker as if something was blocking my view of the otherside. Pondering this crossed my mind but i paid no heed. It was indeed something but i couldn't tell what and so i cared less.
Now i felt truly calm and relaxed, the imagined Reiatsu burning away softly through my skin. I started to try and calm it even more, so that it didn't burn, but instead, washed my thoughts away from my mind so that i could focus on the task at hand.
It was then that it came to me, my imagined Reiatsu took on a colour...or techniquely a lack of one. It was tainted blue around the edges, but firmly it was black and roared within me, screaming for me to recognize it. To know it, to become one with it.
I opened my eyes suddenly. I was seeing it. My Reiatsu, the calmness of my spirit force it was as the book said. It was almost completely transparent. With just a hint of colour. Though, even though it was clear, the colour was still bold and known, pure black and blue around the edges.
I smirked. Task completed.

I let myself focus on this new thing, on this new thing that was apart of me...no...it wasn't apart of me. It was me, it wasn't that i created it, or that i made it, or that it was with me, it just was me.
I basked in my own presence for a moment. It felt nice and warm, comforting, yet cold and ruthless. Something which made me different from everyone else. I let the Reiatsu dissipate and frowned. Could i get it back up again. I decided that i would test that tomorrow if i had chance, or rather time.
Tomorrow? What time was it now. I stood up which was easy...really easy considering the amount of time i had been sat down. I climbed up the ladders to look outside. As i thought. It was dark already. I headed over to the dormitories. I had no idea whether it was morning or just really late at night, but the stars above were glowing.

I looked around the hidden panel that revealed the ladders down just to make sure no one was looking. I checked again and then descended returning the lid on the top before jumping the rest of the way down. Everything was as it was before...though quite obvious some Shinigami had been cleaning here because it sparkled more than usual.
This was good news because it meant they wouldn't come back for a while at least. I sat in my usual spot and took out the book I had borrowed from the library. Then i flicked it to the page i wanted and reviewed what i had done the day before. I wasn't sure about my progress or how much I was supposed to do each day, but i was taking it slowly or rather, at my own pace.
I began to remember the malleable structure running through my body, only this time I made as if it was my body only more complicated, as if supporting everything in my body, while being supported at the same time.
I started to clear my thoughts of yesterdays success and let the thoughts just sink into the imaginary Reiatsu i had created. I kept my eyes open slightly as i had yesterday, but i didn't really focus on anything as such instead i glazed over and focused on nothing, not even the Reiatsu i had created.
My true colour was black, or at least an extremely dark blue. That was kind of weird, the book had said that most Reiatsu's were blue, but it didn't say if they were almost black which i highly doubted.
It was still difficult to stop thinking though and i had to conquer each of them, just like i had yesterday. Easier as it seemed it was still a task that needed to bee completed. Once empty, i stayed like that for a while, enjoying the peaceful nothingness that had once again encompassed me.
Yet again time seemed to fly by and i lost track of it completely, it was easy how fast time flew by when you weren't keeping track of it or rather couldn't. I was now thinking about time, and i had to shed that thought as well. My imagined Reiatsu was becoming dense with all these sheded thoughts. Though i don't think it was actually growing exactly.
I continued thinking of nothing as my thinking became a pure silent white noise.
More time passed and the void in my mind expanded encompassing me in the void. My eye lids yet again drooped...at least i was conciously aware of it happening this time.
I could feel my thoughts merging with my imaginary Reiatsu as weird as that may sound, a sort of inner grinding feeling. Again i could hear it burning. I smiled satisfied. My imaginary Reiatsu was burning.

Though it wasn't burning as much as last time, which was quite weird, and i proceeded to tame the burning fire. Taming the will of my imaginary Reiatsu to something i could easily control and bend to my will.
There was a flicker in front of my eyes. I wondered what it was, and thought it may have been a trick of the light. This i pondered for a brief second before casting it away. Focusing on myself, and on the imaginary Reiatsu that was becoming dense. I lost focus again as i zoned out and thought of nothingness...of void.
I let this imaginary Reiatsu wash away the thoughts that were trying to break through this mental barrier. Thus it came to me once again, the black hue in front of me. I nodded. I had achieved it. Now i had to learn how to achieve it faster.
I basked again for a while in the gentle Reiatsu. It seemed that it was just going along with me, at my pace, growing at the same rate as i wanted it to. Slowly. Then i cast it away and my Reiatsu disappeared for a moment, before i tried it again.
This time my Reiatsu showed up much faster as if it had a conciousness of its own. Eager to please me. I frowned slightly as i heard it's gentle carresses as it washed my thoughts away. I let it go again and then started to increase the ferocity and amount of the Reiatsu I had, trying to push it to its limits by summoning all of it to the forefront of my conciousness. It didn't seem to like me much for that and started to fade as if disagreeing with me.
I forced it with my will power to stay exactly where it was and to use all of it that I had. Something was had to give and it wasn't going to be me. Reluctantly my Reiatsu conformed to my instructions and then i let it go again, back into me, to be one with me.

Now I had a pretty good idea on what my Reiatsu was and who it was to me, but then again...i slipped a page over and began reading the next page.
'Reiatsu is a fickle thing and you will have to battle it to begin with to gain control and power over it and thus yourself. Though this is something you will know yourself once you have completed.'
I frowned slightly. I remembered a slight battle with it when it wasn't doing as it was told and when it seemed to beg for my attention. Thus i read a little further down.
' At first your level of Reiatsu will be quite low though it will grow over time and quite quickly too in some cases. Many people think that Reiatsu is governed at birth. This is not true. Your Reiatsu can increase continuously and there is no such thing as a level you cannot reach. To increase your level, you will have to push your body and mind to the limits, but again you will have to learn to control that extra bit.'
I read on a little more feeling that i understood this bit.
Although this was only about knowing your Reiatsu not controlling it. To control your Reiatsu you will have to put it through rigourous exercises. No doubt that you have already tried to decrease the time it takes for your Reiatsu to get to you. Well now its a case of sending it to different parts of your body at will. You must eventually control your Reiatsu sub-conciously and so this will be your second lesson.
Controlling your Reiatsu stage 1.
To begin with we aren't going to do anything flashy other than just direct it around the body, this isn't as hard as it sounds and your Reiatsu will usually do this upon command and subconciously for even the least talented of Shinigami. Lets try it now. Try focusing it to your feet and then suddenly to your head.
I put the book down for a moment and my Reiatsu started buring around me again. I concentrated into my feet as much as i could until i could feel the heat of my Reiatsu on my feet, buring away. It was unmistakeably cold, yet it still burned. Confused, i sent it skyways and straight to my head in which my Reiatsu reacted efficiently. Thankfully i had at least this level of control. I looked at the book again and then onto the next page.
Now spread your arms and try it side to side, few Shinigami have difficulty with this as well, but it moves and condenses your Reiatsu more
And so i tried the excercise. It was actually beginning to get easier get my Reiatsu up as well. I moved it from hand to hand and back again. I slipped the page over.
Well done making it to this page means that we are onto the second level of control. Often your Reiatsu will rebel against this one, yet it is easy enough to do. Focus your Reiatsu into one hand, and imagine it floating in a sphere just above your hand.
I started to practice.

I could feel my Reiatsu constantly now, it didn't seem to want to go away, as if it were clinging to me not to let it go. Though the black haze wasn't there anymore at all which was a whole new experience.
I sent it down my arm and into my hand it was actually quite hard at first so i placed my other hand on my lower arm and started to force in Reiatsu from two sides both joining and causing a massive stir in my Reiatsu.
The Reiatsu did indeed rebel, but not as much as i had anticipated. A pale blue sphere of Reiatsu appeared hovering above my palm. I smiled. This was actually kind of weird and i moved it from one hand to the other. I looked at the book again.
This is your first Kidou. Hado #1 Spirit Ball, and is tricky to master because of the shape, perfectly spherical. Other than that, this technique is rarely used as it provides little use for offence to all but Captain rank. Generally it is hard to make this attack damaging, but is actually quite precise when being smashed into something. It immediately disintergrates on impact, and is a melee art.
Spirit Ball? Heh, i wondered if it had an incantation to it. A level #1 Hado. I glanced at the book again. It didn't look like it had any more infomation on Kidou itself but rather just more ways to increase your Reiatsu and control it. Then i found another titbit of infomation.
To use your Reiatsu, you must will it, rather than force it to do your bidding. Forcing it will cause friction and eventually damage to your Reiatsu, willing it will reduce the risk of damage and will also conserve energy
That was when i decided to stop for now. I also felt tired and hungry once again so it would be a waste of time gathering my energy at the moment.
I slipped the book back into its spot and climbed the ladders back out, heading for the library this time to replace the book with another. Perhaps this time on Kidou energy.

I climbed down the ladder again, clearing my mind as i touched the floor. My Reiatsu as pure as it was whirled around me ferociously. I flicked my hand out and it calmed immediately.
I remembered some of the pages in the Reiatsu control book and started thinking about them.
'Growing your Reiatsu,
Is as simple as it sounds, pushing your body to limits your body struggles with will increase your stamina and thus in turn your Reiatsu. Regular excercises and meditation will help increase your Reiatsu as well. Diets as well make a difference to your Reiatsu pressure. Eating various helping of fruit will increase the control of your Reiatsu, where as vegetables such as rice and potatoes will increase the density. Fish will help your Reiatsu mature at a steady rate while various Meat's such as Chicken and Beef will increase the power of your Reiatsu.
Now lets start with the excercises. Running, is one of the main excercises that you can use, with jumping second. Combining the two will not just raise your speed in combat, but will put your body under physical duress, this intern will increase the level of your Reiatsu.
The suggested length for a beginner is 100m, and then extending my 50 metres every two weeks. However, this would also increase your endurance, so try eating lots of fruit, fish, and rice. Eggs are also good as they are a high source of protein, these will help with your Reiatsu as well as your body. '
That sounded interesting. Well, firstly i was going to start off with some warm up exercises. I started by moving my Reiatsu from my feet to my head and then from one hand to the other. Once i had completed them, i tried doing both tasks at the same time which meant that I would have to split my Reiatsu up into two parts.
This took me a while, though i wasn't sure how long, it was like the same task as patting your head and rubbing your stomach anticlockwise. I finally caught a method of doing it however by letting one move subconciously while controlling the other. I guessed that was the best way to do it, and then i reversed roles. This was tricky but it was just the same method again.
Thus finished with that i held out my palm and started to send my Reiatsu down it. It was a lot smoother this time and instead of performing a pea sized sphere, it was now about the size of a tennisball, yet it was still perfectly round. I shrank it for the moment and then made it bigger again, at least i had better control over my Reiatsu now.
Then readying myself, i started running, running down the length of the passage all the way to the very end. I slowed down before getting to the end, and then ran the other way back to where i had started. I carried on repeating the cycle, trying to see how many i could do before i wore myself out.

It seemed to be quite a few actually, as i counted each length as 1 i managed to do about a hundred, though i was just willing my legs to move by the time I reached 60, i wasn't sure on the distance but i think it was close to around a hundred metres or so.
I finished up coming to a slow stop to where i began and sat down in a cross legged position trying to regain my breath, though I was still doing a little Reiatsu practice. It felt like I did, whacked, but it continued to move as i commanded. If i sent it down my arm, it went, if i sent it down my legs, it went, if i split it up...it went. I didn't even have a problem with making a sphere in my hand any more, although it was a little weaker than usual.
I cleared my mind again, and there i sat, basking in the glory of my Reiatsu once more. It too, calm and resting like myself. I didn't have to measure my Reiatsu to know that it had grown a little within the short time i had been practicing with it.
I remember the next page in the book again.
'After running constantly until you wear out, you should feel your Reiatsu easier to control, if not, push yourself further and further until it is. Your Reiatsu is combined with your own strength and if your will power is stronger than your current state, then it should be as flexible as a piece of loose string. To control it, you will have to build up your will power. Only you will know how to do this though'
"Heh," I said leaning my head against the wall. I knew that all to well. Though how i was going to gain more will power...i didn't quite know. At least now i had found out that there was a natural control to my Reiatsu. I had read that it acts in a sort of symbiotic relationship with will power. Sort of like a host and a parasite that does something for you. Always though, one has to be dominant and the other submissive. I guessed that was what that book had tried to teach me.
I figured that this would be enough training for today and that i should get something to eat before turning in for the night again. Though if it were still light outside, then maybe i could come back down and start on this Kidou book i still had.
I stood up and started towards the ladders. A shinigami was coming round the corner and I hurried up and out quickly.

I descended the ladders again. I should remember to bring lunch with me next time. I left my Zanpakuto at my side as i stopped thinking. My Reiatsu burned furiously once more, almost as if it were excited. I calmed down immediately, and my Reiatsu did also. It was weird to how much it had responded to me now.
Now instead of going through stages of moving my Reiatsu around my body i went straight to the split stage where i moved two chunks of Reiatsu around at the same time, though i did alter the pattern to make it a little more tricky. I did this continuously for a while, until i was positive it was purely under my control. I held out my palm and concentrated for a moment.
A ball of spirit energy appeared, though no longer was it the size of a tennisball, but almost about the size of your average Soccerball. I looked around, there didn't seem to be anyone about so I started running. I made sure i was running in just a straight line though, so that i knew where i was going when i wanted to come back.
I jumped a junction of water as i moved over to the next section and continued running. It was no longer a matter of just a hundred metres, but rather five hundred metres. I ran about two hundred and fifty metres, then i started back. My Reiatsu burned a little as I used it to keep my legs going on the way back. Then i stopped. I was back where I had started and I took out the book again.
' You will find once you have started a course of running, you will keep going at it, and at it for a while, this is a good thing because it means that you will increase your stamina. However, try to incoporate jumps, and speed changes into the run. Now once you have completed the first steps of that control, start focusing on turning it into Kidou Energy. Kidou Energy isn't Reiatsu, but rather a mutation of Reiatsu.
If you are reading this book, then you are most likely a beginner Shinigami so I'll go through the steps. In truth you will use your Reiatsu and send it to the part of the body you wish to use Kidou from, most commonly is your hand. The moment Reiatsu leaves your body, and when you visualize the energy you want it to become is when the Reiatsu turns into Kidoh energy. However, certain sound waves, and movements will often be incorporated to stablize the energy. As you become more efficient at this you will find that you will have less need for the commands or the seals.'
Well Sensei never told me that, i guess i'll have to learn on my own. I read a little further down. This article was actually quite interesting now that i had gotten into it.
Most Shinigami start off performing Destructive Arts, or in traditional terms, Hado, and it is best to do this unless you have a partner. If you have a partner, then Bakudo, or Binding Arts will probably be the best place to start off for you
"Pity," I said out loud, "I don't have a partner..." I put the book away. For a moment and started to concentrate. Perhaps now i could find out how much i had progressed over these last few days. I held up my hand and pointed down the Aquaduct system into the sewer system. I sent my Reiatsu down my arm, and comfortingly it felt more determined. I closed my eyes for a moment. Then I recited the technique command like the student had shown me before.
"Hado #1," I said and already my Reiatsu was moving out of my fingers, "White lightning...Byakurai" I said slowly it seemed to roll off my tongue and the white light emerged from my fingers and shot down the tunnel. It was thin, and quite weak, but still, I smirked as it lit up the passage where it was going and struck the wall, obliterating one or two bricks, it was able to cause damage of a significant amount.
Shinigami suddenly came down from behind me to see what was going on. I extinguished the torch with my touch my Reiatsu and put me into darkness. The Shinigami didn't seem to notice this, or even me as they ran past me and down towards the damage.
I climbed up the ladders and out. No one was up here at all now. It was all clear. I replaced the lid and started walking towards Inuzuri

Descending the ladders once again I shed my top for a moment to look the injury i had incurred from that battle. A large bruise was welling up as I suspected. I put my top back on and then slipped out the book.
"Controlling your Kidou Energy," I said looking at it. Then I started reading through it.
'Now that you have successfully completed this task me will begin a course of training that will increase your knowledge of your Reiatsu, as well as how to contro it. Begin by running five miles.'
I looked at the book. It was serious? Five miles. Well no time to start like the present. I started running down the pathway.
Each area seemed to be identicle to the last, but i knew from scent that each place was different as it smelled different. You could even tell how far you were away from the sewer by smelling the air. I carried on running, jumping every now at then over a junction of water. I didn't know how far I was running, only how fast. I didn't care to estimate, i was just going to run until i could run no more, and then run further to energize my Reiatsu.
It was later rather than sooner that my stamina emptied. Which surpised me, because one or two days ago running this far would have out done me. I looked at the book as i ran, ran, jump, ran ran, jumped....
'Completeing this exercise will lead us onto the next. A slightly more Kidou orientated task. Once you have finished the five miles, stop, and choose three targets. One near, one far, and one in between.'
I carried on running and running, until my Spirit wouldn't carry me no further, and then i looked around. I caught my breath and looked around for three targets. I chose torches, or rather the points just below them, since they were the easist to follow.

I chose my targets and looked at the book again.
'Hado #4, is the first Range attack in the Hado series. Use it, to catch your targets. Send out bursts of Reiatsu, instead of constant streams, to allow you to fire multiple shots. This will help you control the amount of Reiatsu you convert to Kidou energy per attack.'
With the instruction from the book I channelled my Reiatsu, taking a chunk of Reiatsu i wished to use, and further seperated it into three parts. This would allow me to shoot three shots although only at one third of the power of the whole shot.
"Hado #4, Byakurai," I said and launched the first one sending a short thin beam straight into the nearest. Then i turned my hand to the second one and the second shot emerged, and just as that finished i turned my hand to the next one as the final shot emerged going straight at the target. It went as planned, each shot landing a metre below the torch line.
'Notice how this also improves your level of Accuracy at ranges. The more power you have behind a technique, the harder it will be to make it accurate, try firing one single blast of Byakurai at the same strength at the furthest one.'
I was surprised that i hadn't run out of energy yet. THough that didn't stop me from sending my Reiatsu down to my finger.
"Hado #4, Byakurai," I launched it. There was a slight rebound from the power, and it indeed was harder to control when aiming due to the weight and ferocity of the power behind it. It was way off its target, shooting down the hall and into the water.
'One of the ways to increase control would be to calm down and focus. Once you are calm, it will help your Reiatsu calm down, and once that is calmed, your Kidou energy will be less volatile. Try Hado #1 and pour in as much Kidou as you can muster into it, and control it. Once you have controlled it, it will be completely sepherical and calm. '
I closed the book I had a feeling this was going to take a while. I concentrated on my body and then held out my palm. I didn't have to even say the spell name for this one and the ball just appeared in my hand. However, the more Reiatsu i poured in the harder it was to control, but if i didn't pour in more of my Reiatsu this training would be for nothing.
Soon the Reiatsu in my palm was extremely unstable, flickering like electricity from one to the next. No wonder i was unable to properly aim the Byakurai at the moment then. I calmed myself down willing myself to become peaceful...and thus I was on the road to mediation again as i cleared all thoughts from my focusing on only one thing. My Reiatsu, calming it down was my main priority as it was burning viciously.
The Spirit ball merged together slightly, forming an extremely rough spherical shape. I was getting the hang of it but it was going to take more time and more concentration. I poured in more Reiatsu and it flickered back into its random state again. This was going to be a thing that i would have to conquer whole heartedly and all at once.
"KAI!" (Release) I shouted and suddenly a new force surged through me and into the spirit ball. It doubled, tripled, quadrupled in size and ferocity. I fell to one knee still holding out my hand, still focusing on it, still trying to get it to meet its spherical shape.
I lost count how many minutes i was sat knelt there with my volatile Spirit Ball in my hand. I only knew that i had to calm down a heck of a lot to keep this lot under control. There were obviously other methods but at the moment this one would suffice. I continued my efforts doubling them up, trying my best to control not the Spirit Ball, but myself.
It slowly but Gradually started to come together as I came to harmony with myself and i just managed to see it completed before i collapsed forward onto the floor unconcious.

(FFS! I HATE IE.....i just wrote something extremely long, copied it, went to paste and it hadn't copied...sun of a b***h)
I woke up. I didn't know when. (yeah i am so gonna rush this, stuff what's in the book...i had written stuff down about stages concerning the following:
Morning running task, and various Reiatsu excercises such as Reiatsu movement and control. There were also physical endurace excercises.
Concentrating and folding in your Reiatsu into Kidou energy
The stages which you could reach at certain Reiatsu levels...mines currentl level 13 which means complete harmony because i went through another series of tests (yes these are just notes so i can rewrite it when i'm not so damn pissed off...excuse the french) which allowed me to increase my Reiatsu control and level off.
Level 13 means that I have relatively high Reiatsu level and control in equal proportions, enough at least to perform Hado #31 a number of times.
Then i had a tutorial on how to perform the Shakkaho
-Focus Mind
-Get rid of Fear
-Focus on target rather than aim since it works better
-the seal
-the incantation
Then once i had completed that, i decided that i was going to go to the Academy...well at least after i had returned the book to the library. Though i was heading for the restauraunt in Inuzuri first to get something to eat and replenish some Reiatsu level, which although wasn't infinate had increased quite a bit.
see all this infomation covers quite a bit of post as it is, let alone writing it all out.
so yeah...onto the food...)
